There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. The air conditioning worked well plus a strong ceiling fan. The room was clean as well and the host provided an adapter in the room. He also welcomed us with two fresh coconut waters and on the morning of our safari at 5am he was kind enough to make us coffee. On our last day he gave us fresh watermelon slices before checking out. We were also picked up and dropped off from the bus station by the host. Very helpful and kind. Would recommend

There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. It was by far the best accommodation on our entire trip to Sri Lanka. The room, bathroom and balcony were huge and super clean. The air conditioning kept the room nice and cool. It is very nice and quiet. The safari was super organized with breakfast and drinks. But the best thing about the accommodation is definitely Mithila we have rarely met such a kind and gorgeous person. She really organizes everything and has an open ear for all our wishes. Takes care of the food order, safari, enough water and even the laundry. We had a lot of problems with our arrival due to New Year and she supported us the whole time. Many thanks again to you! We had such a great time with you ♥️

Everything was great and we enjoyed staying in this hotel. We lived in a big comfortable room on the 3rd floor with air conditioner , fridge and a big balcony with amazing view! The owner Buddika was very friendly and helpful. He managed to arrange a great safari for us in Yala national park for next day at a good price even though we arrived late. And safari exceeded our expectations, during exciting trip we watched elephants, crocodiles, varan, peacocks, buffalos, dears and even a leopard very close that is a great luck and also made wonderful pictures. In addition I would like to mention excellent service and hospitality. Buddika picked our luggage up, arranged a dinner for us in the restaurant, presented welcome drinks and always helped to solve all questions.

Lake Face Cabana

Tissamaharama

Boasting lake views, Lake Face Cabana offers accommodation with balcony, around 4.5 km from Tissa Wewa. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation features full-day security, room service and currency exchange for guests. One of the best views from my balcony I've ever had! The houses are high up on stilts giving you an amazing view over the wetlands which are full of beautiful birds. We even saw a sunning crocodile from the balcony. This isn't luxury accommodation but it's great value for the money. You'll need the mosquito net as the walls are open to the outside. But that just lets the bird calls in in the morning. The sunset from the balcony with the birds singing is magical. And the family here are so kind and helpful. Great food too! Definitely recommend as a base for your Yala safari, and stay a few extra days for the great view.

The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and luggage storage for guests. The site is a 10 and the room is also excellent. Often in hotels they are annoying and insistent so that you hire excursions, transportation, etc. with them, but this has not been the case. I saw the rice harvesting process.

Moon Light Guest House

Tissamaharama

Offering a restaurant and free bikes, MOON LIGHT Guest House is located just 1.1 km from the Tissamaharama Bus Station and 3.2 km from the beautiful Tissa Lake. Free WiFi access is available in this self-catering accommodation. The service. It was fantastic and better than some 5 star hotels. Sanjeewa and his aunt went out of the way to take care of me and my family and prepared some delicious authentic Srilankan food as lunch and breakfast. The property itself is so well kept and faces the rice paddy field. We also booked the safari through them and got to see so many animals. Because we traveled with out 80 yr old grandma, they were extra careful which really helped. If we visit again, we will surely only stay at this Guest house.
